1．It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore．Needless to say，it was too hot to do anything outside．But it was also scorching in our apartment．This was 1962，and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years．So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors．He suggested we could see a movie．It was a brilliant plan．
Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and-most important-sit in air conditioning．In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies．Then，the theater would show the same two movies again．If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice．Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater，Mr Bellow，did not mind if you did．
That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat．We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each．Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance．We'd already seen the second movie once before．It had been at the theater since January，because Mr Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it．
We left the theater around 8，just before the evening shows began．But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more．And we did it the next day too．Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke．
Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962．They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life．

2．Exercising during the day can keep you awake at night instead of putting you to sleep，according to new research from the United States．It was believed a good workout helps to send you off by making you more tired-but it now appears that the opposite is true．
A study of fourteen participants who wore a piece of equipment monitoring their movements for 23 days found the more active they were the less they napped．Surprisingly，total sleep time increased by an average of 42 minutes a night after days with low activity．The findings suggest exercise and sleep have a more complicated relationship than many people realize．
Heart specialist Dr Am Eliasson，who led the research，said the results were the opposite of expectations．Quality of sleep did not improve after days of increased exercise．The data collected included total sleep time，the exercise energy that has been used，the height and weight of the participants．
Dr Eliasson speculates the findings may be explained by personality types．Individuals who are ambitious and active during the day may also be more "vigilant （警惕的）" at night and therefore sleep less．Meanwhile，less ambitious people who are less active may have no difficulties falling or staying asleep．
Another explanation may be that job and life stresses lead to busier days，more exercise and more calories burned but may interfere with （干擾） sleep．
It was believed that exercise improves sleep because it produces a rise in body temperature，which is then followed by a drop a few hours later．It is the drop in temperature that apparently makes you sleepy．So the traditional advice has been to exercise at least three to four hours before your bedtime to give your body time to cool down and avoid having a hard time falling asleep．But now scientists may have to think again．
（1）From the text we can learn that all the participants．
A．had sleep problems before the study
B．improved their quality of sleep after the study
C．had all their activities recorded all the time
D．put on weight more or less soon afterwards
（2）The research mentioned in the text was designed to．
A．call on more people to exercise before sleep
B．expect people to reduce their exercising time
C．change people's traditional idea about exercise and fitness
D．find out the relationship between exercise and sleep
（3）Who has the best sleep according to Dr Eliasson？
A．A government official who is busy．
B．A senior who wants to go to college．
C．A librarian who has an easy and satisfying job．
D．A clerk in the bank with lots of customers．
（4）What may scientists have to think about again？
A．The truth of the new findings by Dr Am Eliasson．
B．The traditional suggestion about the time for exercise．
C．The exact amount of time for the drop in temperature．
D．The necessity of the study on exercise and sleep．
（5）It can be inferred from the text that．
A．the latest finding is suspected by some scientists
B．people with low activity may have a longer sleep time
C．more people will start to take exercise in the evening
D．one can improve his quality of sleep by exercising more組卷：5引用：1難度：0.4

5．Jealous of the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly？Don't worry．（1）
（2）However，according to a recent study，IQ can rise -- not just by one or two points，but by as many as 21 points!
Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter，which was seen to grow and become denser in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly．（3）One is to train your short-term memory．Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence，so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power．（4）
A good night's sleep will also help improve your concentration．（5）It helps you stay focused for longer the next day．
Scientists have also found that exercise helps．Walking 30 minutes a day five times a week and doing exercise will help you become more knowledgeable as well as healthier and fitter．
A．There are several ways of increasing your brain's gray matter．
B．Your brain deals more efficiently with things you truly like．
C．With a bit of brain training，the chances are that you can be as smart as they are．
D．So maybe it's a good idea to get your brain in training right away．
E．Getting enough sleep is like pushing the reset button in your brain．
F．The more you work on it，the better you will become．
